Dong Whi Yoo studies how digital tools and artificial intelligence (AI) can support mental health and wellbeing. Much of the work focuses on designing and evaluating AI chatbots and companions for tasks like self-reflection, caregiver support, and self-management, while also examining safety, trustworthiness, and the balance of control between humans and AI systems. Related projects explore online mental health communities, self-disclosure, and how technology intersects with wellbeing in everyday and spiritual contexts.
Publication activity has grown sharply in recent years, rising from a handful of papers per year to 16 in 2025 and 30 in 2026.
